Absolutely …

Absolutely.

So true Liz ..

I know what you mean Carla 🌷x

So why is it being allowed to land?

Petition: Require all employers to include parental leave policies in job listings Require all employers to include parental leave policies clearly in job listings. Some studies show only a small percentage currently do so. Making it a legal requirement could help ensure fair access...

All people, but younger people who have not yet had kids, please read this petition and share.

I’m going to say something very controversial here. If you want your country to change, if you want politicians to start listening and you want big businesses to pay their way. If you want to be treated the way you expect to be treated, the entire country must withhold their labour. 

Great initiative.

London borough says anyone can grow veg on blank patches of council land If a piece of land owned by Hounslow Council is a blank canvas, residents need only ask to grow fruit and veg on it

I'm pleased to announce that today, Hounslow has become the first council in West London, and one of the first in the country, to introduce a #RightToGrow policy.

Our new policy, backed by #DowtonAbbey 's Jim Carter, allows community groups to take over unloved public land and #garden it.

Trump has all the money, all the power, all the attention, and all the bombs in the world.

But were he to live for a thousand years, he'd never have this.

And it must eat him up.

Water firms sent bailiffs to tens of thousands of homes for debts under £1,000 Most recorded visits are for smaller debts, data from England and Wales suggests, though method of recovery is a postcode lottery

Water companies have a cheek, they fail miserably to perform their jobs, take our money and use it for dividends to foreign owners while neglecting our water systems - often poisoning us and in thankfully rare cases, causing death (allegedly).

Sadiq Khan invites Anthropic to move to London The London mayor also asked to meet Amodei, adding he would like to discuss how Anthropic could move to the capital.

Boss move.

'Sadiq Khan has sent Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei an invitation to move to London after the AI giant’s spat with President Trump. The mayor of London praised the company over its "steadfastness" after it refused to give the US military access to its tools.'

OMG… how awful!

WAR CRIME BY THE US.

An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.

The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.

THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.

This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

Pretty funny that Michael Gove is dunking on me now he’s editor of the Spectator to promote its ‘bias-free’ reporting when as a politician he wouldn’t answer any of my press inquiries on the massive Brexit fraud he oversaw as Vote Leave’s co-convener

Torpedoed by the US. It's a war crime as it's outside combat area. But then it was a war crime when they killed people on boats in the Caribbean.

“It is clear that the overriding feature of Trump is his stupidity. Yes, he’s a sociopath, a child rapist, corrupt, vain, cruel and superficial. But most importantly, he’s an idiot. He doesn’t read, he doesn’t listen to people that know things, he doesn’t understand fairly simple concepts”

We are the United Kingdom.

This week I have written to the Home Secretary to remind her, that when we make a deal with somebody, we keep it.

The government must not retrospectively change the terms of agreements it has already made, over Indefinite Leave to Remain.

Letters | The decline in healthy life expectancy in Britain should shock us all — The Guardian Letters: Alan Walker and Ian Garner respond to the news that healthy life expectancy of both women and men has fallen

“Female healthy life expectancy falls 3 years…The shocking fall of three years for women and two years for men, in just three years, reveals the cumulative impact of the Tory/Liberal Democrat austerity programme and the gross mismanagement of the pandemic.”

Perhaps Orban would let us know when he is supporting the EU and other military aide to Ukraine.

That would help his case a bit.

Alf is right.
